And Habeus Corpus can be a joke with a selfish enough judge. We are at the mercy of these self-righteous thugs anymore and the lackeys at the PDs. To think everything I so admired about my country as a school kid turns out to be spit upon by these bad apples and helps set morally wrong precedent is sad. This judge should be ashamed. 1984 is right around the corner-oops its here.
This week, Trummel tested positive for tuberculosis, Siegel added
SURPRISE! TB??? Isn't that a sticky wicket ... nice, nothing better than a foreign national with TB.
"Rarely do we focus predominantly on the text, on original meaning, on tradition, on constitutional structure, on claims of changed circumstances, and on other forms of interpretive argument. 3 We know that in reality, to practicing lawyers, the Constitution is indeed what the Court says it is. And influenced by this reality, we mostly teach and critique the Court's pronouncements."
I found this particularly interesting in light of the fact of all the rants I see here on FR as to what the Constitution means.
No, this is CTD territory.
That judge seemed to be a little one-sided..oops, is he going to put out a restraining order against me?

Yes, it is just a professor's outline of a law school course in Constitutional law, But it can be found here.
And yes I am aware that it comes from the UCLA law school, which is not generally thought to be a bastion of conservative thought, but it still pretty much says the same thing that every attorney I have ever talked to says about Constitutional law.

Not really. I suppose you have to ask the question that ok, if they courts should not interpret the Constitution and decides what it means, then who should.
Anyway, I found it to be an interesting read and presents some interesting points.
Yes, but keep in mind that it didn't happen overnight, so it can't be fixed overnight. But I am still an optimist. I still think it can be fixed.
LOL. Yes there have been a few posts recently from the onion.com, which has tripped some people up.
However I am not really familiar with newsbytes, but with every other encroachment the government has been doing it does not surprise me.
